AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Reference Manual B-1

Appendix B: General Care and Cleaning

General Care

Do not store or leave the arbitrary/function generator where the LCD display will

be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Cleaning

Inspect the arbitrary/function generator as often as operating conditions require. To

clean the exterior surface, perform the following steps:

1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the instrument with a lint-free cloth. Use

care to avoid scratching the clear plastic display filter.

2. Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the instrument. Use an aqueous

solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol for more efficient cleaning.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the arbitrary/function generator, do not expose the

instrument to sprays, liquids, or solvents.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the instrument, do not use any

abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.
